"DirectRocket" Quake LIVE Servers [ Comment ]Friday, 10 December, 2010 at 13:40 PST | | Print NewsMore QUAKE Live news comes by way of the weekend’s rockin’ rocket powered fun. The theme is “Direct Rockets” and they’ll pack a hefty punch for a direct hit, and damn near squat for splash damage. The knockback has been boosted though, so things are going to get goofy out there. Check the following official blurb for details, and get on out there on those DevPick servers!

This weekend's DevPick is certainly a much simpler affair compared to last week. Based on FFA, everything still spawns as usual, but the Rocket Launcher has received one minor, critical change. Direct hits will do 300 damage, while splash damage will only do 1. Knockback on the weapon has been turned up, though, so you can really pop your opponent up into the air, or into a corner, before nailing him with a surely fatal direct hit.

Hop on the servers this weekend, and get some practice aiming those tricky direct rocket shots!
